FAQ
What is a subscription billing API?
A subscription billing API lets developers manage recurring payments programmatically. Instead of building billing logic from scratch, you integrate with an API that handles plan creation, checkout, payment collection, and subscription status tracking.
How does Paylio's subscription API differ from Stripe's?
Paylio wraps Stripe (and Razorpay) with a simpler abstraction. One API call returns a user's subscription status with entitlements — no webhook handlers, no billing database, no customer-to-subscription lookups. Stripe requires multiple API calls and custom logic for the same result.
Can I check a user's subscription with one API call?
Yes. GET /flying/v1/subscription/{user_id} returns the full subscription state: status (active, trialing, past_due, canceled, none), plan details, entitlements, and current billing period.
Which programming languages are supported?
Paylio has official type-safe SDKs for Python, Node.js, Go, and Rust. For frontend, use one script tag or the @paylio/react component to embed a pricing grid.
